Well, it's spring again, and that means once more Lowell Street smells ... well, nobody's able to put their finger on exactly what it smells like, but we all agree it's rather raunchy.

O dogwood tree, O dogwood tree
Your flowers reek so flagrantly
From April til the end of May
You stink like something I can't say
O dogwood tree, O dogwood tree
Assaulting my olfactory

Additionally, the 90 bus shall forever after be known as Bartleby The Bus for its brilliant refusal to run at 1 today. The 1:30 bus driver said "Well, there just wasn't a 1:00 bus from Davis today." So apparently the 1:00 bus just chose not to run. Is this not some kind of wonderful world, when one must rely on a bus service that, on beautiful days, just up and chooses not to happen? I'm sure Bartleby had a great time lounging about the bus yards, taking in the sun, eating chocolates and getting a good whiff of the dogwoods.

Ah Bartleby! Ah humanity!

The T drivers are usually pretty good on know why there's a delay or not. There've been 90 breakdowns in the past and I daresay there'll be 90 breakdowns in the future, and usually the driver of the next bus says "Yeah, the bus broke down, we had to take it out, but another one's coming to take up the next run." Today he just said "There just wasn't a 1:00 bus today" so I knew some amount of slacking had gone on.

Damn you Bartleby!
